AVAILABLE TO ALL EMPLOYEES
A. RETIREMENT PLANS Pension Plan - defined
benefit plan
HARNETT HEALTH provides a "defined benefit" pension plan for
employees who work 1000 hours during the calendar year. Employees are
vested after five years of service in the plan. The cost of the plan is
paid entirely by Harnett Health. Benefits are provided based on a
predetermined formula, based on years of vested service and final average
compensation
403-b Retirement Savings Plan - defined contribution plan
Employees who work at least 1250 hours per year are eligible to contribute
to the 403-b plan. HARNETT HEALTH matches employee contributions into a
403-b tax deferred savings plan. Following one year in the plan, HARNETT
HEALTH contributes a 25% match of the first 4% of salary the employee
saves. Employee contributions always belong to the employee. Employees are
vested, or have ownership rights, to the matching account on a stepped
basis that reaches 100% after 5 years of service.
B. EMPLOYEE ACTIVITIES

DENTAL INSURANCE PLANS – Guardian Dental
- Basic - Preventive and Basic care only
- Enhanced -
Preventive, basic, and major services covered, orthodontic benefits
The
Guardian Dental plan allows you to seek treatment from any dentist of your
choice. A dental PPO works much like a medical PPO – you have access to a
network of dental providers and can choose to visit a dentist in- or
out-of-network.
The PPO pays benefits at the same level whether you
receive care from in-network or out-of-network providers. Your
out-of-pocket costs will be reduced, however, when you stay in the PPO
network. Why? Because our PPO providers have agreed to offer Harnett
Health System employees lower negotiated fees for covered services. In
addition, in-network providers will also file the claim for you and cannot
balance bill you the difference between the negotiated rate and their
normal rate. Out-of-network providers do not have to accept the
negotiated rates and can bill you for the difference. For questions and
assistance concerning your dental benefits, contact Guardian at
1-800-541-7846.
